+
+#### Linux
 
 ```
 export TRILIUM_DATA_DIR=/home/myuser/data/my-trilium-data
 ```
 
+#### Mac OS X
+
+You need to create a .plist file under `~/Library/LaunchAgents` to load it properly each login.
+
+To load it manually, u need to use `launchctl setenv TRILIUM_DATA_DIR <yourpath>`
+
+Here is a pre-defined template, where you just need to add your path to:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
+<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
+
+<plist version="1.0">
+    <dict>
+        <key>Label</key>
+        <string>set.trium.env</string>
+        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
+        <true/>
+        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
+        <array>
+            <string>launchctl</string>
+            <string>setenv</string>
+            <string>TRILIUM_DATA_DIR</string>
+            <string>/Users/def/Library/Application Support/trilium-data</string>
+        </array>
+    </dict>
+</plist>
+```

 ### Create a script to run with specific data directory
 
 And alternative to globally setting environment variable is to run only the Trilium Notes with this environment variable. This then allows for different setup styles like two [[document]] instances or "portable" installation.
